Green Protests
Labor Curb
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12-ff)
The suggestion from three public
members of the war labor board
that the government may need
more powers to force labor union
compliance with its orders brought
a bitter protest today from Pres
dent William Green of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
"Such statements as these,
Green said in a letter to Chairman
William H. Davis of the WLB.
"make it increasingly difficult for
labor to participate in the work of
the National War Labor board. . .
They are ! unjustifiable. You and
your associates have rendered a
great disservice to labor and to
the publie through publication of
aid expressed opinions."
- As for the flat recommendation
'from employer, members of the
WLB for new laws to "require
responsibility of unions," Green
said he did not believe they rep
resented the views, of industry as
whole. If industry could ask
"compulsory legislation against
Jabor, he said, "labor could ask
In return for forceful and com
pulsory legislation against indus
try." Army Tests Beat

Queer, what varied things
some terms in the English lan
guage may describe.
V
The simple phrase "bailed out"
means two distinct experiences to
Sheriff Andy Burl's chief deputy,
Denver Young.
One meaning he uses every day
as he opens the big barred door
In the county jail; one he has
probably applied to a certain op
eration every boat fisherman must
have practiced.
But he refused to undertake
the same operation recently when
he found a waterfall rushing down
from the door of the kitchen of
the house into which he and Mrs.
Young were moving. The signal to
turn on the city water had been
given in the morning; it was late
afternoon before Mr. Young pre
pared to go hunting I and decided
to stop at the "new house" on the
way. Only then. did he discover
that the coils installed for heat
ing water had taken a beating In
some freezing weather.
The water stood inches deep in
kitchen and pantry, but Marion
county's chief has Young ideas
he refused to bail out; instead he
bored a hole in the kitchen floor!
In the sense in which the avia
tor uses the term, he then bailed
out and went hunting. - .

decree of foreclosure in circuit
court Friday on the delinquent tax

closure. These properties may be
redeemed any . time within one
year from the date of the decree.
Delinquencies running back to
1934, ' including' some on which
fractional payments have .been
made,1- are included in the judg
ment which covers taxes and in
terest. Judgment includes taxes and in
terest shown in the foreclosure as
well as interest at 8 per cent from
August 18, 1943, to November 12,
1943, j and also interest accruing
under the decree from November
12. . .;:

Jones Defends
Food Subsidies
By OVID A. MARTIN.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov.
12- -War Food Administrator
Marvin Jones told the National
Grange convention today that the
Roosevelt administration Is stand
ing pat on its anti-inflation pro
gram of holding down consumer
food prices through the use of
government subsidies.
The grange has expressed bitter
opposition to such subsidies. It
contends that they are equally as
inflationary as ; higher consumer
food prices based upon farm pro
duction costs.
Addressing the 77th annual
meeting of the farm organization,
the food administrator assured 1,
000 delegates and visitors that it
was the government's wish that
farmers receive adequate returns
for next year's crops. He said,
however, that the government de
sired to continue use of subsidies,
which, he asserted, had proved
"highly successful' this year.
- Some grange leaders had hoped
that Jones would offer grounds for
settlement of the long-pending
controversies over subsidies. Op
posing subsidies is a powerful
farm bloc in congress and, several
national farm organizations, JUf
cluding, of course, the grange.
Albert H. Goss, National Grange
master, assured that his organiza
tion and farmers would do
their utmost regardless of whether
the subsidy program won or lost.

Idaho Power
Refinances Bonds
Refinancing plans involving the
retirement of $18,000,000 of 3
per cent first mortgage bonds by
the Idaho Power company, with
headquarters at Boise, were today
approved by Public Utilities Com

and maturing in 1973. The new
issue already is sold to 13 large
insurance companies of national
rating, and at a premium of 3.464
per cent. The lowest subscription

a total of $400,000 of the bonds,
while the largest was for five mil
lions by the Metropolitan Life.
The Idaho Power company op

Idaho, Nevada and among the
counties in Oregon parallel with

waiving their rights to counsel
and additional time for entering

' - ' ' - !
No further payment from the
old Oregon ; & California land
claims may be anticipated by
school! for 20 or 30 years after
the close of 1943, Marion county
court was notified Friday. r
" The ' Stanfield act of July 13,
1Q27, which established the meth
od of payments to affected coun
ties t for timber , taken from the
lands which had been turned over
to the federal government, stipuf
lated that such funds were ' to be
divided h among . " various ! county
agencies until, the amount of the
indemnity had .been paid in full.
The funds were distributed on the
same percentage as were k taxes
from real property. , ;
;V. However, thatact was repealed
in August, 1927, by another which
provided that unpaid claims for
the years 1934-193? .inclusive, to
taling - approximately $2,000,000,
should be. paid by the Stanfield
formula. This amount will have
been paid off in full at the end
of 1943, several years sooner than
was expected, because of the up
rise in timber sales resulting from
the war. There will be therefore,
no funds from . this source for
County school budgets in districts
containing O & C lands.
The 25 per cent of receip'A
which has been distributed to
agencies within the counties now
will be applied on payments of
indebtedness against the O St C
lands, dating back to 1916 and
amounting to approximately $8,
000,000. Those payments will re
quire 20 to 30 years, county offi
cials estimated Friday. After this
time, the comities again will re
ceive 75 per cent of we receipts.
The ounty general fund will
continue to receive 50 per cent of
the receipts from the sales of tun
ber from O & C lands, as in the
past. Payments to Marion county
for the fiscal years ending June
30, 1943, totaled $12,722.80 to the
general fund and $3,217.96 for dis
tribution to taxing agencies with
in the county. Polk received $19,
390.60 for its general fund and
$8204.29 for distribution. f
